I am a newbie to fly fishing. I bought a carbon rod in March and found I couldn't cast it. I went to a fly shop and the guy gave me a little lesson and suggested a much slower action rod. In August, I ended up buying a Phillipson Epoxite 7'6" with two tips and a cork reel seat all in a golden tube. I had no idea what I had just bought. It is fantastic! Since then I have bought a several more fiberglass rods from:
LL Bean (phillipson) in 6wt
Webley and Scott (fibatube) in 6wt
Orvis (phillipson) in 9wt
2 Fenwicks 8 and 10wt

I love it!
I've been waiting for this approval so I can post!
Thank YOU!

Welcome! You were fortunate to have found that fly shop, and you've certainly acquired some wonderful rods. Enjoy the ride down the slippery slope.

Welcome.

You have ended up with some classic rods already.

I would love to see pictures.
